The Allied truck dragged a cable separating the two directions of traffic with him like a rubber band, but it didn't snap. A high priority of emergency personnel was to cut the tension of the cable so it wouldn't snap, potentially causing damage or injuries.

McFarland said he saw several injuries but was not sure how many people were transported to the hospital, potentially Northern Colorado Medical Center of Greeley. He believed there were two people in the orange truck, one in the white truck and one in the pickup.

Paul Bell, a trucker heading southbound as the accident happened, said he was “coming down I-25 and saw all kinds of dust flying around, and the cables were still bouncing.”

He hit the brakes and noticed the debris. He watched as someone dragged two people out of the Allied truck to administer first aid.

Oil and engine coolant on the interstate were cleaned up before normal traffic could resume.
